Donate Life oversees the registration of organ donors in West Virginia.

Did you know there are millions of people waiting for tissue and corneal transplants nationwide, and a new person is added to the organ donor list every
10 minutes?

In the United States, between
10,000 to 12,000 people who would be considered suitable organ or tissue donors die every year, and only a fraction of those people are organ donors.

Sign up as an organ donor to give the gift of life to someone in need when you pass.
